  1. I have slightly more than 1000 jumps on my mPOD now. I'm never going back! Euhm, not really, no. I wrote an article for the BPA Skydiving Magazine about my experiences with the mPOD. The article can be read online on their website: http://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/launch.aspx?referral=mypagesuite&pnum=&refresh=d07F19Gt5f1T&EID=fa8161d4-96c3-43a4-b046-eb59ff49abad&skip=/ Loading their webreader and browsing to page 13-15 might take a while. Send PM to get an electronic copy for easier reading.
  2. You're probably referring to the mPOD: http://pgasus.be/start.php?lang=en Get one. You'll love it.
  3. 30 cells ! Interesting: 6 times tri-cell + 3 times quad-cell in the center = 30 ...
  4. Results are google-doc'ed here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Al7fpmFOR9r3dFhITHdnUVRZc042TVd2VHNiZWxpckE&hl=en#gid=0 1 Mike Vogeleer BE 2 Erwin Vanlommel BE 3 Erwin Baatenburg Dejong NL 4 Grim Swinnen BE 5 Marc Jacobs ( Birky ) BE 6 Matt Sweeney UK 7 Pieter Wittevrongel ( Gizmo ) BE 8 Steve Braff BE 9 Laurent Vanhecke ( Lolo ) BE 10 Paul Alexandrow AUT 11 Johan Nuyts ( Gatonator ) BE 12 Bo Wienberg DK 13 Tobias Alsiö SE 14 Nicolas Tombari BE 15 Nina Engel DE 16 Jordy Zangerle BE 17 Ronald Emonts ( Superman ) BE 18 Luc Knuts BE
  5. I'm looking for the SCM. The USPA website is not working properly, and I see the following message every now and then: "hacked by 1923Turk Efeler Ozel Harekat DigitALL Efe KroNicKq Nofearx38" If somebody could send me a direct link to the SCM, that would help ... Thanks, M.
  6. Get one of these: http://www.chutingstargear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=50_54&products_id=391 or have your rigger make one for you (will be cheaper).
  7. Maybe have a look at the snaps on the Competition Velocity. This addresses the same problem you're trying to fix and PD has done all the R&D and testjumps for you. I've jumped the same canopy with and without those snaps, and the difference is very noticeable. http://performancedesigns.com/docs/RDS_operational_instructions.pdf
  8. You can even get rid of the 2 stows. Check out the mPOD: http://www.pgasus.be/start.php?pg=text&item=mPOD I have 500 jumps on mine, about 50% freefly, and 50% hop-n-pop.
  9. Keep it simple and change the title of this section.
  10. The speed course was not an FAI/IPC speed course. It was a 55m long S-carve, instead of a 70m carve.
  11. Should be available soon (March 1st the very latest) at http://www.fai.org/parachuting/documents/sportingcode2009 and of course http://vrw4way.com And yes, should be in the 2009 SCM.
  12. According to what IPC rule? I know at least two competitors at the last WPC in South-Africa who were swooping with their chest straps disconnected (while landing that is, not while exiting the plane).
